Batman Arkham Origins
Finally done with the main quest, now, for everything else

Alpha Protocol
I really wanted to like it, as everything I've heard about it made it seem like the closest anyone has ever come to my ideal James Bond game. However, after the first few missions it just seems like a real turd. The shooting sucks. The stealth sucks. The AI sucks. The conversational gameplay would be okay if it wasn't so infrequent and didn't have a timer attached to it.
I understand that it's an RPG and I think (or at least I HOPE) the game mechanics would get a little tighter as you invest points into things, but I think this is a case where the developers wanted to make an RPG out of a concept that would have been MUCH better off without traditional RPG mechanics. Bioware figured that out after Mass Effect 1, why couldn't Obsidian?
It's really frustrating, because when I look at Alpha Protocol, I see a potentially awesome game hobbled by very questionable design decisions. Ah well. My wait for a good James Bond (or James Bond-like) game continues...
Now that I'm done with what I think I want to do with Batman Arkham Origins, I decided this is a game I will play againLego Marvel
I'm sure you'll be blown away when you play the second, which has more varied locations and better gameplay. It's my favorite of all.In my continuing effort to play through all the PS3 titles I missed over the years, I just started the first Uncharted. At first I was a little weary because it wasn't quite as slick as I expected, but now that I'm a little more into it, it's a heck of a lot fun. Silly, but fun.
